The next morning, Lin Mo asked Xiao San to take him to see the shop.

On the way, Lin Mo asked Xiao San about the situation of the shop, the shop was originally doing very good business, since the death of Sun Shou, the shopkeeper in the shop two months ago, the store was closed and never opened again.

The shopkeeper was the eldest young master's personal entourage, and the eldest young master recommended him to be the shopkeeper in the shop, but who knew that he committed suicide by taking poison within a few days, which is also a pity.

When the two of them came to the shop, Lin Mo was startled, where is this shop, it is obviously a two-story building.

It's even bigger than the one in General Town, you must know that this is the most prosperous section of the road in the county, there is a building that as long as you are not a fool to open a restaurant and a teahouse, you can make a steady profit no matter what you buy. Ma Yuanwai felt that he was completely unlucky because he died, and it seemed that Ma Fu was really rich.

However, Lin Mo thought about it, this is not just cheaper for himself, his silver was not spent in vain, but Lin Mo was a little embarrassed, he thought that eighty taels per month was enough, but now it seems that he has to add another twenty taels.

There was a big lock hanging on the door, which was very strong, and since the accident, the horse clerk had locked the shop outside, and the key was handed over to Steward Zhang for safekeeping.

This time Lin Mo came over, Steward Zhang directly gave the key to Lin Mo, and said that he wished Lin Mo a prosperous business, which made Lin Mo very embarrassed.

Lin Mo opened the lock on the door and pushed the door in, a musty smell came to his face, after all, the door had not been opened for two months, and no one had cleaned it, and it was full of dust. But Lin Mo was surprised to find that it was full of cloth of various colors and patterns.

Lin Mo looked very surprised, and Xiao San looked at it and explained

"After the accident, the government sealed the shop, and the cloth and other things in it did not dare to move, and after the shop was unsealed, some of the cloth had been eaten by insects, and the lord directly closed the shop, so no one has touched these things here.

Today, Steward Zhang specially instructed me to say that these should be regarded as congratulatory gifts for Young Master Cousin to open a shop, and let Young Master Cousin watch and deal with it himself. ”

Lin Mo was a little surprised, there were hundreds of these fabrics, and they were all the best materials, even if some of them had been mothed, they could be sold for hundreds of taels at least.

Lin Mo only realized how capricious the Ma family was this time, and if he bought all these fabrics, it would be enough to estimate the rent for the first year, which was really pie in the sky for Lin Mo.

Lin Mo asked Xiao San to open the doors and windows to breathe, and blew away the musty smell. Then he walked around on his own. On the second floor of the shop is a storage room with some cloth and other miscellaneous items.

This shop is a front shop and back room style, behind the shop are several rooms, all for the guys to live, one of the locked rooms Lin Mo looked through the window, the furnishings are more regular, the conditions are much stronger than the other rooms, it should be for the shopkeeper to live, in addition to the bed, there are also a few pieces of fabric on the table, although a little gray but the pattern is gorgeous, at a glance it is a good fabric.

In fact, Lin Mo had the key, but Lin Mo didn't dare to go into the house, after all, it was a dead house, and Lin Mo still had some resistance.

Just as Lin Mo was wandering around, suddenly there was a noise in the store, Lin Mo went over to see that two people in coarse linen clothes were arguing about something around Xiao San. As soon as Xiao San saw Lin Mo, a few people came to Lin Mo and said to a few people: "This is Young Master Cousin, in the future, this shop will be taken over by Young Master Cousin, I can't be the master of these things, you ask Young Master Cousin." ”

When the two heard this, they hurriedly stepped forward to meet Lin Mo, and then talked nonsense, it turned out that they were originally buddies from Silk Village, and they were all fired after the accident.

Originally, I wanted to go to other homes to work as helpers, but no one wanted to use them, although the dead official of the shopkeeper said that it had nothing to do with them, but no one wanted to be contaminated.

So they haven't found a job, and today Lin Mo came to open the door, and the two thought it was reopened, so they came over hoping to be hired again. Lin Mo thought about it for a while, and there was a shortage of people now, and these people were also buddies from the past, so they were more reliable.

Lin Mo said to the two: "I plan to open a restaurant here now, if you want, I can hire you, what was your previous salary?" When the two of them heard this, they nodded hurriedly and said yes.

Then Lin Mo asked the two of them about the situation, one of them was named Wu Shun, and the other was named Zhou Fu used to help sell cloth in the shop, and their monthly salary was about one or two or eight yuan.

Lin Mo nodded after hearing this, and said, "The wages for you will remain the same now, and we will officially hire you from today, but now we don't sell food, we have to find a way to sell out these cloths first." ”

Lin Mo asked a few people to dust off the cloth, and then went to buy a big piece of red paper, and wrote with a pen "Clearance sale, buy one get one free" eight typing.

Have a few people stick to the door and let them shout outside. Lin Mo divided the good material and the inferior material into two batches in advance, the cost of a good material is five taels and ten taels, and the cost of the secondary material is only three taels. In this way, two pieces of cloth can earn more than two taels of silver, although it is not much, but don't forget that this cloth is obtained by Lin Mo for free.

And it has been put for so long, and now Lin Mo is in a hurry to get rid of it and cash out, if others estimate that they have sold it at a loss, Lin Mo will not only lose money, but also make money.

In this way, the effect was really obvious, and a group of people gradually gathered.

Lin Mo seized the opportunity to shout

"Ladies and gentlemen, neighbors, this shop was taken down by me, ready to open a restaurant, I didn't expect that there are some fabrics in it, I am not a cloth seller and do not understand the market, and now I am in a hurry to sell these fabrics and rearrange them, so today such a piece of cloth is ten taels of silver, buy one and I will send another cloth. It is ten taels of silver and two pieces of cloth, the cloth here is the best Suhu silk, it is only limited to today, I will be directly transferred to other silk villages tomorrow if it is not sold, everyone chooses for themselves, and it is earned when you buy it. ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts began to calculate. It is necessary to buy two pieces of cloth at the normal price at least fifteen taels or more, and now it is not a loss to buy two horses for ten taels of silver.

So a large group of people hurriedly rushed to the shop, Lin Mo beckoned the guys to hurry up to maintain order, and he collected the money on the counter.

In this way, the four of them were busy for a while, and when the others gradually dispersed, Lin Mo had already saved a pile of silver in front of him, and Lin Mo bought a total of eighty-six pieces of cloth and received a total of eight hundred and sixty taels of silver.

Lin Mo looked at the silver in front of him and felt a little excited, this was the first time he had earned so much money.

The other three looked at the silver with a light in their eyes, Lin Mo looked at everyone and smiled, each gave two taels of silver, which was regarded as an opening red envelope for them.

Everyone smiled happily when they got the silver, and thanked Lin Mo for a thousand thanks.

Lin Mo and a few people cleaned up everything except the house of the former shopkeeper, during which Lin Mo asked some details about the death of the former shopkeeper.

Zhou Fu and Wu Shun talked about it, it was about two months ago, on that day, the two of them and the shopkeeper Zhu Shou opened the door to do business as usual, but there was nothing special, but the shopkeeper Zhu scratched his hand when he was cutting cloth.

It happened that the eldest young master came to check on the store that morning and told a few people to be careful in the future. Then he sent a few horses of high-grade silk that had just entered from Shengzhou and gave them to the shopkeeper Zhu as a congratulatory gift for the shopkeeper Zhu's marriage.

At night, the door was closed, and the two went home separately because of the proximity to their homes, leaving the shopkeeper Zhu in the shop. The next day, after the two came, they never saw the Zhu shopkeeper open the door, and they broke into the door for fear of an accident, and found the Zhu shopkeeper who had fallen to the ground and died in the Zhu shopkeeper's house.

The two hurriedly reported to the official, and after an examination, it was determined that they had died of poisoning at night, but both of them went home at night and had witnesses, so they were exempted from suspicion.

Lin Mo was a little confused when he heard this, but in line with the principle that it was not his business, Lin Mo didn't think too much.

Lin Mo took a few people to buy some pots and pans, and then hired a few carpenters and masons to help renovate the shop, build a kitchen, and build some tables, chairs and benches.

However, due to the huge amount of work, it was not possible to complete it for the time being, at least three or four days, so Lin Mo had to wait for it to be completed before making plans.

By the time Lin Mo finished explaining the matter, it was already in decline, and Lin Mo took Xiao San and hired a car to leave.

I have to say that it is really troublesome to have no paper money in this era, Lin Mo probably calculated, although the silver here is not pure silver, but one hundred taels of silver is at least ten catties, and he earned more than eight hundred taels today, although it cost dozens of taels to buy things and hire craftsmen, but there are still more than seven hundred taels, at least seventy or eighty catties.

After Lin Mo returned home, he went directly to see Ma Ruoyan to introduce today's situation, and gave the remaining silver to Ma Ruoya, and said: "I have bought all the cloth in the silk village, although I didn't make any money, I didn't lose much.

The seven hundred taels here should be the cost of the remaining fabric of the silk village, which should have been your Ma family's, I am only doing a favor, and I have spent a lot of money myself, which is considered to be another debt to your Ma family. ”

Saying that, Lin Mo's old face turned red, after all, he spent a lot, and he also took some as the start-up capital for opening his own store.

Ma Ruoyan was surprised, she didn't know about this matter, it should have been ordered by her father.

However, Ma Ruoyan was still a little surprised, after all, all the cloth was sold out in less than a day, and in the face of such a large sum of silver, Lin Mo was unmoved.

It seems that Lin Mo's talent in business and character Lin Mo far surpasses ordinary people, no wonder his father is willing to rent the shop to him and give him these cloths.

Today may be a test for Lin Mo by his father and father, and it seems that his father really likes Lin Mo.

Ma Ruoya didn't say anything, so she asked her subordinates to take the silver to the bookkeeper in the house and put it in the account.

Lin Mo continued: "I think Xiao San is very clever, I will open a shop in the future, or let Xiao San help me take care of the accounts, it just so happens that I am short of a bookkeeper now." ”

Ma Ruoya smiled and said

"Xiao San is the gardener in the house, help you The flowers and plants in the house will die again, you can find a gentleman to take care of the accounts, there is no need to let the people in the house interfere."

Lin Mo was a little surprised, Lin Mo meant to let the house personally supervise, after all, it was to divide the accounts, but Ma Ruoyan meant that Lin Mo looked at the accounts by himself, and the Ma family completely believed in Lin Mo. This unconditional trust moved Lin Mo.

After Lin Mo said goodbye to Ma Ruoya, he went back to the house to rest, and the broken vase in the house was replaced with a new one.

Lin Mo stayed in the house for two more days, going to the store every day, and after the renovation was almost done, his injuries were almost recovered, although the injuries were not completely healed, but basically did not affect his normal life.

So Lin Mo said goodbye to Ma Ruoya and went back to the town on the morning of the third day, after all, he had been away for so long and should go back, and Liu Wang's funeral and Liu Xin'er's current situation is not clear to him.
